Maximum intensity projection (MIP) is a common visualization technique in medical imaging system. A typical method to improve the performance of MIP is empty space leaping, which skips unnecessary area. This research proposes a new method to improve the existing empty space leaping. In order to skip more regions, we introduce a variety of acceleration strategies that use some tolerance given by the user to take part in image quality loss. Each proposed method shows various image quality and speed, and this study compares them to select the best one. Experimental results show that it is most efficient to add a constant tolerance function when the image quality required by the user is low. Conversely, when the user required image quality is high, a function with a low tolerance of volume center is most effective. Applying the proposed method to general MIP visualization can generate a relatively high quality image in a short time.

A parametric study was made to understand the fundamentals of combustion of CNG fuel in a constant volume chamber in the respect of swirl effect, and the numbers of spark ignition. Optical devices were applied for the visualization of the physics of combustion, and combustion pressures and exhaust emission were measured at several equivalence ratios by controlling speeds of a swirling motor. When the speed of a swirling motor was raised the combustion conditions were improved. The corresponding maximum combustion pressure and heat release rate were increased and the speed of flame propagation was getting faster. This research may contribute to improve the performance of CNG engine and reduce emissions in future.

The biodiesel becomes one of the favorite alternative fuel applied to diesel engines. This research aims to understand the physics of spray and combustion characteristics of a biodiesel fuel in a constant volume chamber. For spray visualization, biodiesel was injected into a combustion chamber and a high speed camera was applied at various combustion conditions. To investigate heat-release rates and flame propagations, spark was ignited on a hydrogen fuel for the premixed combustion and then biodiesel was injected directly. In addition, parametric study was made by various geometries of combustion chambers and temperatures of fuels and injection pressures. This technology may contribute to improve the performance of bio-diesel engine and reduce emissions in future.

We have developed a real-time software tool to extract a speech feature vector whose time sequences consist of three groups of vector components; the phonetic/acoustic features such as formant frequencies, the phonemic features as outputs on neural networks, and some distances of Japanese phonemes. In those features, since the phoneme distances for Japanese five vowels are applicable to express vowel articulation, we have designed a switch, a volume control and a color representation which are operated by pronouncing vowel sounds. As examples of those vowel interface, we have developed some speech training tools to display a image character or a rolling color ball and to control a cursor's movement for aurally- or vocally-handicapped children. In this paper, we introduce the functions and the principle of those systems.

A three-dimensional slope valve component is used for controlling micro volume of liquid on a centrifugal force-based microfluidic disk platform, also called a lab-on-a-disk. The modeling factor of the slope valve component is determined to centrifugal force for liquid passing the crest of a slope valve via variation of slope length and angle as well as the radius to start point of slope valve. The centrifugal force is calculated by the equilibrium equation of the capillary and gravitational forces according to the microchannel surface roughness and the liquid volume, respectively. As a result, the slope valve is analyzed by the minimum angular velocity for liquid passing at crest point and the ratio between the length of micro liquid and slope length to obtain the factors for optimal slope angle modeling.

We conduct numerical simulations of the interaction of a deformable structure with two-phase compressible flow. The finite volume method (FVM) is used to simulate fluid phenomena including a shock wave, a gas bubble, and the deformation of free surface. The deformation of a floating structure is computed with the finite element method (FEM). The compressible two-phase volume of fluid (VOF) method is used for the generation and development of a cavitation bubble, and the immersed boundary method (IBM) is used to impose the effect of the structure on the fluid domain. The result of the simulation shows the generation of a shock wave, and the expansion of the bubble. Also, the deformation of the structure due to the hydrodynamic loading by the explosion is identified.

Bubble condensation, which involves the interaction of bubbles within the subcooled liquid flow, plays an important role in the effective control of thermal devices. In this study, numerical simulations are performed using a VOF (Volume of Fluid) model to investigate the effect of tube diameter on bubble condensation. As the tube diameter decreases, condensation bubbles persist for a long time and disappear at a higher position. It is observed that for small tube diameters, the heat transfer coefficients of condensation bubbles, which is a quantitative parameter of condensation rate, are smaller than those for large tube diameters. When the tube diameter is small, the subcooled liquid around the condensing bubble is locally participated in the condensation of the bubble to fill the reduced volume of the bubble due to the generation of a backflow in the narrow space between the bubble and the wall, so that the heat transfer coefficient decreases.

3차원 의료영상처리와 같은 볼륨 가시화 분야에서는 균등한 볼륨보다 비균등한 볼륨이 많이 사용된다. 비균등한 볼륨은 3차원 직교공간에서 세축방향의 공간 해상도가 같지 않은 것을 가리킨다. 본 논문에서는 인접한 두 슬라이스상에 있는 복셀에서의 광도를 보간하여 중간 복셀의 광도를 직접 계산하는 효율적인 비균등한 볼륨 렌더링 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 밀도 보간법과 달리 여기서는 중간 슬라이스를 만들기 위해 전처리 과정을 거치지 않으며, 생성된 중간 슬라이스를 저장하기 위한 기억공간도 필요 없다. 이와 더불어 광도 보간법으로 공간 주파수가 높은 영역을 렌더링 할 때 발생할 수 있는 과도한 흐려짐 현상을 막기위해 적응형 중간 복셀 삽입법을 제안한다. 이 방법을 활용하면 일정한 화질을 유지하면서 렌더링 속도를 향상시킬 수 있다.

The purpose of the study is to examine how effects of activities using Google SketchUp on students' spatial ability and 3D geometric thinking in measuring the volume of solid figures. By comparing the results from pre- and post-tests between the experimental group and control group, we found that activities using Google SketchUp help students improve their spatial ability in the spatial orientation and visualization. In addition, more than half students in the experimental group moved from level 4 up to level 7 in thinking process of measuring the volume in terms of Battista(2004)'s levels. This study suggests that the instruction with Google SketchUp can help to improve students' spatial ability and 3D geometric thinking in the regular class in middle school. In addition, SketchUp can be an advanced technological tool to support students' self-directed learning, which create an efficient educational environment and a great opportunity to learn geometry in an effective manner.

A visualization study using the schlieren method is adopted in an optically-accessible, cylindrical constant volume combustion chamber to identify the mechanism of ignition energy and ignition system interaction in spark ignited, lean gasoline-air mixture. In order to research the effects of ignition system on flame propagation, two kinds of ignition system are designed, and several kinds of spark plugs are tested and evaluated. To control the discharge energy, the dwell time is varied. The initial flame development is quantified in terms of 2-D images which provides information about the projected flame area and development velocity as a function of ignition system and discharge energy. The results show that high ignition energy and extended spark plug gap can shorten the combustion duration in lean mixtures. The material, diameter and configuration of electrodes the flame development by changing the transfer efficiency from electrical energy to chemical energy and discharge energy. However these factors do not affect of flame development as much a ignition energy or extended gap does.
